Selena Gomez is hosting the fourth annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit.
On Monday, Aug. 24, the Rare Beauty and Rare Impact Fund founder, 34, announced that the event will take place on Oct. 14 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. The annual fundraiser supporting youth mental health organizations will be emceed by actor and comedian Sean Hayes.
“This year’s Rare Impact Fund Benefit continues the Fund’s mission to mobilize $100 million for organizations that increase access to youth mental health services and education around the world,” reads a press release. “The fundraiser brings together a global community of advocates, partners, and friends of the Fund for an evening of connection, storytelling and impact.”
Gomez shared in a statement, “The Rare Impact Fund means so much to me. One of the things I’ve learned through this work is how much it can mean for a young person to have someone in their corner, especially during the moments when they feel most alone.”
She continued, “This night is about making sure more young people have that kind of support and celebrating the organizations that make it possible every day. I’m so grateful to Sean for being part of it with us this year.”

Last year’s event raised more than $2 million from over 20 sponsors and one-of-a-kind auction items from SmartLess, Paul Rudd, The Ranch Malibu, and others.
At the 2025 benefit, Gomez and her husband, Benny Blanco, stepped out for a loved-up date night one month after tying the knot.
Inside the event, the newlyweds were photographed getting cozy. Gomez wore a maroon minidress with a satin sash-like detail around the neck. She accessorized with a matching pair of pumps and sparkling drop earrings.
Blanco, 38, opted for a classic black suit with satin lapels and a black button-down shirt underneath.

On the red carpet earlier in the evening, Gomez made an entrance in a mauve silk twill wool minidress with a wide-set neckline. The custom Danielle Frankel look was styled with a silk twill shawl and hand-dyed satin Kennedy heels.
At the 2024 benefit, Gomez spoke to PEOPLE exclusively about what the night meant to her.
“This is probably the most important thing I do with my time, and it’s not just this event,” the Disney alum shared. “It’s constantly every day showing up for people. We’ve built a community with Rare, and I’m so proud of that. We hopefully have helped people feel less alone, and that’s all our goal has ever been.”
